Adultery, in my opinion would just fall under perjury as it amounts to breach of (the marriage) contract from a legal standpoint. That means the only significant rules are against lying, stealing, and illegally killing people. That's just 30% of them.

They should really put up signs that simply say, "DON'T BE A DICK" Of course, if you put up that sign, conservatives would all get up in arms claiming that it's a partizan political attack aimed at them because being a dick is a fundamental part of conservatism.

Ah, I shouldn't have skimmed your post. Thanks again, I'll give it a listen.

“The director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Mr. Bongino said, oddly referring to the pipe bombs as a potential act of public corruption rather than domestic terrorism.

So it was, Marjorie Taylor Greene after all.

Ooh, free Edgar Allen Poe book? Are you trying to be my new best friend?

Indeed.

I read a book called Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven many years ago about a comet hitting the Earth. There was a scene in the book, after the impact, where a rich guy manages to finally reach a place up in the mountains where he has supplies stashed, only to find that his employees have claimed it for themselves and won't let him in because he's basically useless in the new world of survival.

If you were working for Huffman or Musk or any of the rest of them, and a there was a huge society ending disaster, would you let them in when they showed up or would you just shoot them down with their own guns? I know what I would do. I can't imagine anyone letting them in.

Those ending in a '-t' are archaic forms left over from Middle English.

If he’s perceived as oblivious to people’s day-to-day concerns, he’s at risk of losing a vital grassroots connection that is a source of Republican fealty.

Oblivious to their day-to-day concerns/, you say? Like someone who is so out of touch with the common person they only just learned what 'groceries' are? (Daily Show clip on Youtube)

“But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.”

Oh, hey, well good for you. You have nothing to fear then. So get on with it you fucking psycho. Go feed yourself the business end of a shotgun instead of killing the poor and the helpless and let the rest of us work on cleaning up the mess your kind are making.

A former MMA UFC fighter, who is suffering from delusions, was arrested for abusing his his own family (who he believes to be imposters), was then released on $2000 bond. A few days later he was arrested again for the same thing and released on $1000 bond. Is it maybe just possible that he shouldn't be out at all?

Very hard to fight the lobbies. It's already illegal to sell lab grown meat in Florida and Alabama and I'm not even sure anyone is selling it to consumers yet.

 

The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on May 21 and was captured on video, showing the officers exchanging blows and shoves. One of them, visibly agitated, used her radio to request the presence of a supervisor, warning that "I need a supervisor here... immediately before I beat this girl up."

To absolutely no one's surprise...

Marko Elez, 25, who worked for a number of companies run by Elon Musk and was part of the billionaire’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force engaged in dismantling federal offices, resigned Thursday, a White House official told The Hill.

Elez’s racist, now-deleted social media posts were uncovered and first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

“Normalize Indian hate,” the account associated with Elez posted in September, regarding people of Indian ethnicity who work in the U.S. tech sector, the Journal reported.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account wrote on Elon Musk’s social media site X, the Journal reported.

HHS has sent out letters terminating all DEI employees and programs. The letter included instructions that the email DEIAtruth@opm.gov was available to report people for non-compliance.

Personally, I am very concerned that radical elements might attempt to flood that email address. That would be a real shame if that were to happen.

 

Actual quote (video included in link):

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” he threatened. “Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Welcome to the new regime.

 

No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it's AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

 

Forgot to include the [OC] in the title.

Republicans, in one of the more moronic takes of the election season, say that if Biden is too old to run for office, then he's too old to hold the office and should resign.

 

Fulton County prosecutors filed an emergency request for a protective order in the Georgia election subversion case on Tuesday after recorded statements made by multiple defendants as part of their plea deals were made public.

On Monday, ABC News and The Washington Post published footage of the proffer sessions, which showed the four defendants who pleaded guilty being questioned by prosecutors about their involvement in various efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Prosecutors said the footage was turned over to the remaining defendants as part of discovery, urging the court to impose restrictions on how the defendants can disclose the materials.

“The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial, constitutes indirect communication about the facts of this case with codefendants and witnesses, and obstructs the administration of justice, in violation of the conditions of release imposed on each defendant,” prosecutors wrote in their motion.

To prevent further disclosure, prosecutors said they will not provide videos of any proffer sessions to defendants moving forward.

“Instead, defendants must come to the District Attorney’s Office to view confidential video recordings of proffers. They may take notes, but they will be prohibited from creating any recordings or reproductions,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.

 

Last weekend, an auction held at his Florida home saw the item, described as "a one of a kind Trump Glock from the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump," go up for bidding during a charity event. Pictures circulating on social media show the gun being presented at the auction, with news website Meidas Touch saying that bidding for the item began at $10,000.

However, the transaction could land the former U.S. president in considerable trouble, given that federal law prohibits those under indictment from transacting firearms. Trump is embroiled in active legal proceedings, having testified at a civil trial over the New York investigation into financial fraud at the Trump Organization. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and repeatedly said that the ongoing federal and civil cases against him are part of a political witch hunt.
